farmers plenty of irrigation. ..... We
were mistaken last week in saying thai
DR.. J. w. Laird addressed the people OF
Decoration Day at Twins Station. There
was little joke connected with the ex
perience down there: The rain drove the
people to shelter before the speaking be-
gan, and some one suggested that they
should go to the Franklin Valley Church
to have the speaking, when the Minister
informed them that the person in charge
was away, and had the key with him
The idea was given up and the disap-
pointed crowd lodged around anywhere
to get out of the rain. Meanwhile, the
speaker had gotten the Church open, and
was sitting waiting for his audience.

Cincinnati. The folks down there will
find him an active, hard working business
man Mrs. Shropshire, of Samsonville,

noon. -. Officer Jared Martin accompa-
MED the Sheriff to Columbus with the
convicts sentenced at the present term of

troublous experience. John is pointing
and packing small iron rods. s......W. T.
Price is here. Mr.. Price thinks some of
taking the Southern Ohio District in the
Insurance business, in which case he may

can be made a grand success, and thinks
the soldiers of this County ought to have
permanent organization. We think so
too. The nail mill folks had a meet
ing at the Mayors office. Mr.. Hastings
is here. The boys are bound to make the
thing go. Speaking of the purchase of
lots reminds US of remark dropped by
one of our business men who was can
vassing, and urging another to buy lot.
"Oh," said the second man, 81 don't believe
I'll take any lots" "Well," said the first.
eff this town don't wake up and do some
thing, I'm going to le00e it," The man
addressed choked down his merriment
until he could get away. There wasn't
anybody holding either ole of them.

old school building and repairing. has be-
gun I'VE met Mr.. Hasting to-day.
He is the gentleman interested in work
up the nail mill scheme here, and very
pleasant and intelligent gentleman. Mr..

Company, OF this place, makes large ship
ments of pigiron to Toledo, to be used in
the manufacture of stoves. The stove
foundries of Toledo employ hundreds of
men, and get the coke used in the foun-
dries from Pennsylvania, and the pigiron
from Jackson. How much cheaper this
business could be carried on right here.
where coke of good quality can be ship
ped in from West Virginia at a much
less cost than Toledo is paying for it, and
the iron is made on the ground. A great,
wholesale stove foundry and machine
shop, is what Jackson needs most. .....

tonight further arrangements were made
looking to the County Reunion. 1t is
